Objective. To evaluate the effectiveness of three different physiotherapeutic approaches in management rheumatoid hand.

Phenomena occurring in the contact area between two mating bodies are characterised by high complexity and variability. Comparisons usually made parameters such as coefficient of friction, friction force, wear temperature relation to time path. Their correct measurement enables proper evaluation tribological properties materials used pair. This paper concerns measurements basic selected polymer composites. Knowing these composite materials, it will be possible create operating conditions for...

Objective. To compare the effectiveness of manual therapy and ultrasound (US) with placebo (placebo US) in treatment new episodes unilateral shoulder pain referred for physiotherapy.

Dental practice today used a lot of different materials.This paper evaluates tribological and mechanical properties two dental materials CeramX I-Light.Tribological analysisad samples was conducted at temperature 37°C in the environment artificial saliva.The wear rate evaluated with ball-on-disc tribotester, accordance to ASTM G-133 norm.The counterbodies were 6-mm-in-diameter Al 2 O 3 steel balls.The load 2, 10 20 N applied.The tests 0.15 m/s sliding velocity over stroke 1000 m.The changes...

The paper presents the results of an X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and diffraction (XRD) study chemical phase composition friction surfaces Fe–Mn–C–B–Si–Ni–Cr hardfacing coatings. alloy was used as a core mixture to produce flux-cored wire 2.4 mm in diameter. coating deposited by gas metal arc welding using CO2 shielding gas. tribological examination conducted ball on disk system with load 20 N under dry conditions. A XPS were examine structures surface depend depth 5, 10, 15, 20,...

Abstract A great number of virtual museums exhibit archaeological artifacts in an interactive form using 3D digital models to disseminate them as many users possible. Currently, obtained a result scanning museum objects have gained popularity. This technique allows faithfully reproduce and expose too delicate precious be presented the real world. The aim this article is create VR world by with structured light. advantages optimizing mesh for their use exhibitions are discussed. Unity Unreal...

Objective. Local steroid injections and community-based physiotherapy have been shown to be of similar benefit for treating shoulder pain presenting primary care. This paper presents a cost consequences analysis prospective economic evaluation, conducted alongside randomized clinical trial (RCT) corticosteroid versus new episodes unilateral pain, determine the implications injection physiotherapy.

Cost-effectiveness and cost-utility analyses were conducted to compare advice exercise plus manual therapy (MT) pulsed shortwave diathermy (PSWD) with alone (A&E) in the treatment of non-specific neck disorders by experienced physiotherapists.Between July 2000 June 2002, 350 participants from 15 physiotherapy departments randomized to: A&E (n = 115); MT 114) PSWD 121). Outcome resource-use data collected using physiotherapist case report forms participant self-complete questionnaires....

The main purpose of this work was to compare two game engines (Unreal Engine and Unity) in creating virtual exhibitions. article is a scientific description test their efficiency. For the needs research identical applications built on basis same assets were created. Those enabled researchers examine efficiency question, as well familiarizing themselves with workflow each platform. comparative analysis gathered data let more effective solution emerge, which happens be Unity engine.

The availability of 3D scanning devices allows performing the process digitisation a growing number diverse museum artefacts.After properly conducted processing acquired point cloud, authors obtained photorealistic digital copy that can be presented in many ways.With regard to objects from archaeological excavations, vast majority are artefacts more or less damaged only partially preserved.Their state preservation, specialised knowledge and use appropriate computer technologies allow their...

The paper presents an analysis of the surface layer Fe-Mn-C-B-Si-Ni-Cr alloy coating after friction with C45 steel.The coatings were obtained by arc welding (GMA).Flux-cored wires used as a material.The flux-cored had diameter 2.4 mm.The tribological assessment was performed Amsler tribotester under dry conditions at unit pressures 10 MPa.The use XPS spectroscopy allowed deep profile layer.Based on results developed model for couple, hardfaced from -C45 steel.It observed that operational...

Abstract The paper reports a selection of numerical and experimental results new closed-die forging method for producing AZ31 magnesium alloy aircraft brackets with one rib. modelling the forming process was performed by finite element method.The distributions stresses, strains, temperature forces were examined. confirmed that forgings produced are correct. For this reason, verified experimentally. showed good agreement results. rib then subjected to qualitative tests.

The impact of testing loads and deflection samples made polymeric materials used in the field medical engineering after steam sterilization process were investigated. research was carried out on with standard geometry, according to PN-EN ISO 179-1, which produced two different printing configurations relative coordinate system 3D printers using extrusion additive process. Polymers are polyether ether ketone (PEEK), MED610, polylactide acid photocurable resin. results regarding strength...

In the process of distance learning, modern information and educational solutions are increasingly employed. The introduction tools facilitating compliance with WCAG guidelines to course creators, enhances content accessibility for individuals disabilities, eliminating barriers education access. This aligns concept universal design, aiming create courses instructional materials accessible a broad audience, regardless individual needs, abilities or conditions. While this is standard in web it...

The subject of this study is the analysis vibrations induced during milling a thin-walled element. was performed with 2-flute custom end mill for machining Al alloys (FENES, 12x22x80-45°W-Z2), diameter d=12 mm. rectangular 7075-T651 aluminium alloy workpiece following original dimensions: 120x60x12, machined in DMG MORI DMU 65 MonoBLOCK 5-axis machine. test plate were identified Siemens LMS Scadas Mobile system and Test Lab software.

The wear resistance of diffusion coatings in conditions specific pressures 3, 7 and 10 MPa was studied. boride were prepared by means methods using C45 steel as the substrate material. Research on microstructure redistribution chemical elements surface a borided layer carried out. It found that should be used under pressure MPa. friction couple coating 3 proceeds according to oxidation mechanism, while abrasive prevails. wear-induced segregation atoms studied secondary mass-spectroscopy...

This paper investigates the friction process between an Fe-based coating and C45 steel with surface-active lubrication, as well examines surface before after tribological testing. As a result, it is possible to determine whether undergoes self-organization during friction. Coatings were produced by hardfacing subeutectic alloy Fe-Mn-C-B modified silicon, nickel, chromium copper. Tribological tests performed using pin-on-disc tribometer. The pin (coating) disc made of subjected heat treatment...
